PadWalker is a module which allows you to inspect (and even change!)
|
||
|
|
lexical variables in any subroutine which called you. It will only
|
||
|
|
show those variables which are in scope at the point of the call.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PadWalker is particularly useful for debugging. It's even used by
|
||
|
|
Perl's built-in debugger. (It can also be used for evil, of course.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I wouldn't recommend using PadWalker directly in production code,
|
||
|
|
but it's your call. Some of the modules that use PadWalker internally
|
||
|
|
are certainly safe for and useful in production.
